With the “big game” not that far away (this Sunday, Feb. 5) you need to be planning your gathering. That includes liquid refreshments.

Saveonbrew.com predicts that Americans will consume 50 million cases of beer during the Super Bowl, and that's not including those that are put down at restaurants, bars or at the stadium. That's enough liquid to fill Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis (where the Super Bowl will be held) half way up.

While for many it adds to the enjoyment of the “big game,” this binge drinking escapade is costly. That 50 million cases of beer will cost us $10.8 billion, which happens to be enough to purchase 10 B2 Stealth Bombers, according to Saveonbrew.com.
